Maybe they'll be a nice price by then... I never really did want to get a 12" iBook, though. I'd love to be able to play around with one before I buy one, but that just isn't an option around here.</p> <p>Or I could just build some other (quiet) computer instead. Which is what I think I might do. I've been wanting to cut down on the noise levels lately. Of course, putting my Linux box (krypton) in another room would help immensely with that. Problem is, there isn't really any place I could put it right now.</p> If I do get a Mac, it wouldn’t be until at least April.

I think I'd go for the ibook. but, they should be seeing price cuts on mac's soon. i believe apple signed some agreement for cheaper mfging of cases/etc.</p> eh… i was nosing around at ibook’s at futureshop, beware the ‘cheapest’ ibook 12.1″ screen really sucks. not very bright or good to look at.

It's cheaper by about $400 or so i think though, making it definately worth my while (Again, if you think you could handle the grossness of an eMac...hehe).</p> As a person who only actually owns one computer, an ANYTHING inch laptop would do me, hehe.
